The Albertina-Foundation and its partner institutions in Germany, Englandand Israel welcome approximately 30 essays of interest to those concernedwith the study of the modes of representation of >>> space, time andspacetime<<< in literature.

We are looking particularly for contributions on various topics in literarystudies, literary theory, philosophy of literature, anthropology etc.answering to the publication's subject matter.

We welcome papers examining the issue of >>> space, time and spacetime <<<from either practical perspectives, or based on foregrounded theoreticalassumptions, as well as papers concerning single authors or comparative views.

Articles of fewer than 10,000 words or more than 30,000 words are notconsidered for publication. The word count includes notes but excludesworks-cited lists and translations, which should accompany foreign languagequotations. Submissions are only accepted if the language is English (BE orAE).

Each article submitted is send to two reviewers. Articles recommended bythese readers are then sent to the members of the editorial board, who meetin late March 2009 to make final decisions. Until a final decision isreached, the author's name or status is not made known to consultantreaders and the editorial board. Because the submission of an articlesimultaneously to more than one refereed project can result in duplicationof the demanding task of reviewing the manuscript, it is our policy not toreview articles that are under consideration elsewhere. We also acceptsections of unpublished dissertations.

The PUBLICATION will appear in one volume; followed by a CONFERENCE inLondon, September 2009. As a result of generous financial support given byinstitutional and public donators, we are able to cover all expensesrelated to traveling to and from London as well as lodging and board. Theauthors of accepted contributions will be equipped with flight tickets andhotel vouchers by June 2009.
